Amperozide is an atypical antipsychotic of the diphenylbutylpiperazine class which acts as an antagonist at the 5-HT2A receptor.[1] It does not block dopamine receptors as with most antipsychotic drugs,[2] but does inhibit dopamine release,[3][4] and alters the firing pattern of dopaminergic neurons.[5] It was investigated for the treatment of schizophrenia in humans,[6] but never adopted clinically. Its main use is instead in veterinary medicine, primarily in intensively farmed pigs, for decreasing aggression and stress and thereby increasing feeding and productivity.[7][8][9]
